The book on new Raiders cornerback Pat Lee

The Raiders agreed to terms with 28-year-old reserve cornerback Pat Lee to a one-year deal. Lee played in 32 games in four years with the Packers, and Oakland general manager Reggie McKenzie did the leg work when Green Bay drafted him out of Auburn in the second round in 2008.

The book on Lee is that he has good size (6-feet, 196 pounds), strength and athleticism. He played well on special teams and just needs game experience. It’s obvious that McKenzie likes him

The Raiders were interested in free agent cornerback Tracy Porter but are thinking he will be too expensive. New coach Dennis Allen is likely going with newcomers Ron Bartell and Shawntae Spencer as starters, with Lee, DeMarcus Van Dyke, Chimdi Chekwa and draft pick fighting for backup roles.

Like McKenzie’s previous three free-agent signings (Bartell, Spencer and guard Mike Brisiel), Lee has also had problems with injuries. He was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury both in Week 12 of 2008 and then again in 2009.

He did earn his Super Bowl ring in 2010, coming off the bench for the injured Charles Woodson and Sam Shields and holding it together for 20 plays against the Steelers.

Lee is the second player with ties to McKenzie in Green Bay to come to Oakland, as the Raiders signed safety Brandon Underwood last month.
